Roasted potato salad with asparagus

It was a year of changes. Top Food Facts went vegan in July this year. There is a lot of information about being vegan in our new category Why Vegan.

We saw that eating this type of food is not boring at all. It’s actually very tasty and it opens up a completely new food world. I tried so many things for the first time and I am quite happy with myself. Vegetables are the real fuel for our bodies. Even if you overeat with them, you won’t feel so heavy and tired.

After all, it’s not a secret that meat is not healthy for us. There’s evidence all over the world that having too much meat on our plates is very dangerous in the long term. It does harm to your body and it does harm to nature. We just have to face it – if you were the one that had to kill the animal yourself, and then cook it, you would give it a second thought.

So….. after a short lesson it’s time for our new recipe.

We have prepared for you a festive salad with roasted sweet and regular potatoes, asparagus, pine nuts, harissa, black sesame seeds and fresh dill.

Add the oil, salt, pepper and harissa and toss them nicely, so they get completely covered with all that flavors

Roast them in the oven for 45 minutes

When they are almost done, you can cook the asparagus in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes, seasoning them with salt and pepper

Arrange all in a big serving plate and sprinkle with the pine nuts, black sesame seeds and fresh dill
